  Children's Books: F*cking With Gender Roles Since 1970

  Who cares if your boy wears dresses if he is happy?

  
  

  It is no different for you to teach your boy to act like a boy is supposed to than it is for say a white father to teach his white children to act like they should according to their race.

  
  

  Most kids are going to be made fun of for something anyway.  Gender-varient behavior is one of the things that tend to attract the most negative actions especially by peers, but isn't it a better lesson to teach your children that other people's opinions should not dictate their personal choices in life.  <-that statement isn't even something I am totally comfortable.  One may chose to act gender varient,  but their feelings are not a choice.

  
  

   

  
  

  No form of guidance is needed when it comes to either challenging or fitting with Gender expectations.
